Flexibility for the basement: PPC expands its BPL portfolio with the Nessum 1T module
Reliable communication from the basement is a key prerequisite for the smart meter roll-out. At the same time, many metering point operators wish to plan their BPL infrastructure as independently as possible with a view to selecting an SMGW at a later date.
PPC Kundentreffen 2026: Award for successful SMGWplus EEBUS SHIP pairing interoperability tests
The energy management systems from Solar Manager and TQ-Systems have been successfully validated for interoperability with the SMGWplus from PPC. Both partners support the new and secure EEBUS SHIP Pairing and have demonstrated successful interoperability through extensive testing. In recognition of this successful implementation, Solar Manager and TQ-Systems were presented with the PPC connect Award at the PPC Kundentreffen 2026.
Reaching the Goal Faster: How BPL and Coms4Grid Are Driving the Rollout in Rhineland-Palatinate
The expansion of broadband powerline (BPL) in Rhineland-Palatinate is clearly gaining momentum. In collaboration with Coms4Grid, projects are currently being implemented in several network areas that demonstrate how the iMSys rollout can be carried out reliably.
The EEBUS Ship Pairing Service Explained Simply
To make getting started easier, we’ve created a concise video that clearly explains how the EEBUS Ship Pairing Service works. The focus is on how the commissioning and pairing of devices can be significantly simplified in the future—a key component for scaling the control rollout.

Digital controllability check: SISSY consortium demonstrates a new approach to verifying controllability
With its digital control check based on intelligent metering systems (iMSys), the SISSY consortium is demonstrating a new, scalable method for verifying the controllability of generation plants. This approach makes it possible to verify basic controllability efficiently, in a manner that benefits the grid, and without the need for physical intervention or test-based curtailment of renewable generation capacity.

Digital control meets relays: Weidmüller and PPC launch new solution for control rollout with EEBUS relay converter
At E-world, Weidmüller and PPC are demonstrating the EEBUS Relay Converter (ERC), a solution for control in accordance with Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG) and Section 9 of the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) at the interface between EEBUS digital and relay analogue. The jointly developed product translates digital EEBUS control signals into analogue relay switching commands. This means that even non-digital systems can be controlled by an SMGWplus in accordance with the requirements of Section 14a EnWG and Section 9 EEG.
GE Vernova and PPC demonstrate successful interoperability for broadband communications in power grids
Cambridge / Mannheim, den 11. März 2025 – GE Vernova und die Power Plus Communications AG (PPC) haben die Interoperabilität ihrer Breitband-Powerline-Technologien (BPL) erfolgreich getestet. Im Fokus der Zusammenarbeit stand die Verbindung des MDS™ Orbit PowerNet von GE Vernova mit dem Smart Meter Gateway von PPC, das die Nessum-Technologie einsetzt.
Long-time partners formalize cooperation: PPC joins EEBus e.V.
After a long successful cooperation in many projects, PPC is now also formally a member of EEBus e.V. The symbiosis between PPC's product portfolio and EEBUS as a protocol for applications upstream and downstream of the grid connection is thus further strengthened.
